Sharks Devour Blues, Advance to First-Ever Stanley Cup Final

The San Jose Sharks are going to their first ever Stanley Cup Finals after dispatching the St. Louis Blues in six games. After losing the opener, the Sharks won two shutouts in a row before suffering a 6-3 defeat in Game 4. On Monday, they answered with a 6-3 victory of their own, before finishing off the Blues 5-2 in Game 6.

Leading 2-0 for much of the game, the Sharks’ Martin Jones held off a late push in the 3rd period led by the Blues’ Vladimir Tarasenko before Logan Couture‘s empty net goal sealed San Jose’s ticket to the Cup Final.
